OVERPRODUCTION OF MONEY. It is trite to nay that th worM Is suff-rin today from u nl ritroiluftion. Kvcryloly knows that, nr ourht to know it. iJut th it is only part of th .tory. A'- a mattfr of fact, most of its financial tmublos cr-ni due to overproduction f tho one ommodlty niost sought aft r money. How vat this increase of the medium of ech.inpe has l rn is revalel m figure piv n out hy the National ,'ity hank of New York. Viihout eountinp Itussia, whose currency has hern debts' d 1 y the printing of rubles by tens of billions. th ifatlfcticians find that thk principal countries of th world In lfJl4 had paper money In circulation amountinu' to $7,2.0,000,oon, and that their paper currency has now risen to over $00,000,000,000. With morr than six tims as much money in circulation, it would certainly be a miracle if prices had not yoarcd, f.r it is one of the elementary principles f economics that the more money there is. the more of it has to be paid for otlur things The United Staf s itself has four times as much paper money in c?rculation as it had in 1311. Still more sinita ant is the attendant hance in the ratio of i .-per to pold. While the volume of paper money has . en thus multiplied, the world's supply of roM has Increased very little. In most of the countries outside of the I'nited States the stock of pold his been depleted t") .such an extent as to place pold at a bier premium, or paper at a bi discount. Our own cro'd holdings, before the war. wero almost exactly ecjunl to our paper. After all our importation of pold, we now have only about .12 percent as much jrold as p iper; this, however, is amrle to keep our paper at par valu- I'uropean nations are less fortunate. In the allied countries, taken altogether, there Is now only about 22 percent ns much pold as bank notes, and in the central Kurop'an countries only about ? 1-P. iTcent as Touch ;rc;ld as hank notes. Clearly, then, th- task of hrinpiujr prices hack to normal oucht to he attacked from both ends. Production of roods of real wealth should speeded up; and at the- same time, production of money should be curtailed. The reckless issue of paper money and r.epotl.ible securities should bstopped; and as fast as possible, bank ;vtes should 1 e withdrawn from ( ireulation. bonds should be reticened and int! ited credits of all kinds reduced.

MODERN ALCHEMY. S-) the old alchemists were right after all. At bast, they wt-rr on the riht track. They failed only Wcuuse they licked the reuuisite knowledge and equipment It Is si dent ilieally possible to chans-e baK metals into pold. W't- ha"e this tui the authority of one of th" most authoritative modern 5Cicnt i-t p. Krederbdv Sod'ly, rofessor of physical chem;rtry in Oxford university. Any of the other (Irnc't.- '"in be tral'.sniuted 1:1 to prdd. lie deeh.'es. by "slightly varying the atom In Them." Thus "to pet pold from mercury, xpei from rn t?m of mercury ute betip article, which will make thallium, then one alpha-'.'aniclo, which will turn the thallium into mdd. or to pet -cdd from bd. .P'i frmi an atorn one alpha-particle, which w:ll ti n It into jnercur', and proceed as before. " It is Jl'st as s lupde as that. To he sure, the no b e may have r. httle durcuhy ilh thi particle business. Atoms have heretofore b n ccnsidered indivisi'd that Is what the Avord means. An.I they have been, and remain, so minute Mi t3 be invisible with the most powerful mierorcope. Tb.e amate ur alcb.emist w ü! r ndably ak v.'hat pood it does him now to know that an atom t'f merctiry can be divided Into these mysterious and pot nt particle, if he can neither see the atom or partirbs nor pet his hands on them. He is likely to frei still more helpless on learn'np that these particles, when expelled by .-ome scientific hocuspocut frcm the paicau atom, have a velocity of P.OOa to 1 3,mm1 mües a. second, lluw is any practical person rrom tc work with pomethlnp that he can't see. an.' tl;a nt ay hop hMf way around the earth while h is feeiim; for it? Ihrsonaliy, most of us ruuy l,c w;llinp to take this on f.iith. We have seen too many scitntilic nlrpclcs i .-rformed in our time to be incredulous. Cut those Inxisihle, impilal.de. alphabetical particle? horpinp hithe r antl on at such a rate pets on our tierves. nnd drive out cur llehemic ambition. I,'t ioniebody else mak the pold.

CREATING NEW CRIMES. The action of the ISouth Carolina senate iu pass trp a bill which prohibits Miioklnp in the dininp Tooms -f hotels and other public pla es is a p od illustration of one of the cry In.; evil-c of the times tKa VtrHi.-'a" o "-uit nn' criiü- bv Jecilatiw

enactment. If the measure finally reaches the povrncr it is to be hoped that he will have the sense to veto it, not heeiuv- unokinp in public is to be condoned, although there are comparatively few frsons to whom it N offensive, hut to jhow dHapproval if ihe course of the leisl.itur in mapnlfjinp what is nt worst a petty annoyance Into a crime. The way to d-al with trivial offends of this character is not to i.ass laws against them whih no nn1 oxprets will be constantly and ricidly enforctd. If smoklnp In hotel dininp rooms Is such a nuisance a? the South Carolina senate would lead one to suppose n wa, the hotel proprietors have it in their power to stop IT. And if public yrntlrnent favors th" prohibition of smnktnc in such places the hotrl men will be quirk enomrh to yield to it. without ravinp to be forced by a sta'ute Into taklnp action. If there is any r a son for complaint apalnst thnumber of laws on the books it is that they are too nume rous rather than too few. Occasionally an unprecedented situation arises, such as the present seditious plottinp of radical apitators apainst the. eovernni' nt. which may cb-mand the e nactment of new laws to cope with it. but as a prneral rule It may be stated that provision has already beer, made in the statutes ' for the i.rscut!on of crimes end misdemeanor that should be brought Into court. A law such as th- proposed one apainst smoking 1 certain to be broken apaln and apain with Impunity. This will have. th effect of hreedlnp contempt for other laws. Le t existing crimes he .suppressed before new ones ore created.

DON'T BECOME PANICKY. With reports of epidemic influenza prominent in the news, with fresh outbreaks constantly reported in various parts of the country, the memory of the scour.-re of lant winter is likely to incite panic hi many minds. Some newspaper oncourape it. And et there is no preate r encourapement in the Intluo:i.i perm than frlpht, so many physicians tell us. Tear lead.? to worry, and worry breaks down the health more rapidly than a corr.s of doctors can build it up. The accepted theory of perm diseases Is that p- rms of many ailments are with lis always. Hut It is only when th body's power of resistance is lowered that we develop the tl Isen so. Thus most of us probably always have cold In tho heal perms lurklnp in our breathinp passaps; but until tho body, through chlllinp or under-nourishment, or from some other cause1, . bet om es to weakened that it cannot lipht off these perms they cannot harm us. When they once pain the tipper hand, thouph, v.e "catch cold." So with intluenza. When inllurnza, is epidemic in the neiphborhood, most of us probably carrj a few millions o? the little-pests thit science has r.ot yet b' en abb? to Isolate. Of course, only a foolhardy man will expose himself to the disease. Hut it is little less foolhardy so to neplect one's powers of resistance as to permit the perms to pet the upr. r hand. Don't worry. If ones takes care of oneself there is no need to fear. It is homely advice, but round.

Abolition of kissinp Is recommended as a precautionary measure; apainst the spread of influenza. Oh, well, wfth prohibition in effect the suspicious wife doesn't llnd kissinp necessary now when hubby comes home from "work or from the lodpe.

The United States isn't alone In this de-port inp business. IJra7.il has just deported 50O Oermam. And by the way, do you remember when Germany expected to annex Urazll?

tiii: coluxji: votii (InllanaiMils Xrws.) In a very able discussion of the facts revealed by the recent poll of the cedbpes, Mr. Taft shows In th" Philadelphia Public Ledper that they have u slpnllicance that republicans can not nffont to overlook. Sin. Hramlepeo and McCormick spoke- of it in sheerinp terms, but not so the former president. He says: ' "Nobody claims that this vote is of a cross-section of the country,, but it may be fairly said to be an indication of the , attitude of the educated, inte llipent and idealistic' .dement in our people, and it oupht to he a warnlnp to republican politicians of the danper they are runnlnp if they propose t follow Mr. Johnson. Mr. Horah. Mr. Knox. Mr. Ilrandepee and the other bittt r- n-lcrs in the next campaign on this issue. The vote was taken after the fullest discussion 'everywhere, because, the Kaput cf nations has attracted great controversy in the collepes and been made, the subject of debate, discussion In th classrooms and of comment in the cedlepe newspapers. These results are fairly representative of a far larper constituency than that of the collepe faculties and the cedlepe student. It represents an element less vociferous, but far larper than the extremist Irish vote, which the blt-ter-e-nders fondly count upon as leaving the democratic party in the next campaipn, and far larper than the so-ca.'bd pro-derma n vote. It represents the views cf in eleme nt that is needed to plvo the republican party full ce ntred of the government in the next administration." Indeed the alippmont is not very different from that in the senate itself. In the senate the treaty is opposed by only 'o percent of the membership, nnd in the coll pe poll by only i:s percent. Hut tho former president asks a question that Is today on many Hps. "Can It be." he inquires, "that in a country .vith Anplo-Saxon .traditions of the need of compromise in making popular government successful, the purpose of 20 pt rcent of a repre sentative body to defeat a measure which in some form 0 percent demand, can prevail?" The purpose of such men as P.orah and Johnson is openly avowed. Yet they are consulted as to the form of compromise though they would vote for no com r renn Ue- and have even said -that thf- agreements reached in the recent conference hhall be repudiated. Last week Sen. Loelpe had agreed, or was ready to aprce, to a slight change in article 10, r.nd the democraticmembers of the committee had decided to accept the change. Then e-ame the protest of the irreconril ables. which wr.s acnlrst any change of any sort in the Ixvtire reservations. They demanded that the preamble and every other part cf the Lodge reservations shouM stand. Mr. Taft's e-juestion suppests another, which is whether men who submitted to such dictatorship tm the part of the nemles of the treaty are tht-m-sclw-. sincerely friendly to it. Hut there can be no doubt that there is a two-thirds majority in th senate for the treaty in some form. That being m case th people are Unding It increasingly difficult to unelerstand why those who profes.s to de-s.re-ratification should be so extraordinary deferential to those whose only, purpose Is to kill it. If it is ne cessary to adopt Sen. Underwood's plan for a non-partisan conciliation committee of an otnelai character, there should be no place on It for the rtq uldiean members of the foreign relations comTill!

txcaTj imrnrs. Attractive announcements have just bevn sent out that John DeHaven, the widely known advertising man and lodge Joiner, will be established in his new suite at 520 J. M. S. building as district manager of the Kqultahle Life Assurance Co. after Feb. 2. With this announcement. Mr. Dellaven ceases to be a pal. as he slips quietly from the working class into the ranks of the plutocrats. The Wisconsin lady, that went to Nlles to have her eyes fixed up nnd then came to South Herd to do a llttlo plain and fancy shop lifting, knew what she was about all right. It would seem that perfect eyesight is one of the very" fbrst requisites of shop lifting. A friend, returning from the Chicago auto show, tells us that a special Ford was tho most expensive car
